1 Summary of the Oracle® Communications Security Shield Cloud Service
Oracle® Communications Security Shield Cloud Service (Security Shield) is subscription-based Oracle® Cloud service that provides the following services, components, and operations to help secure your telephony network.
The Security Shield service evaluates SIP-based calls that it receives from the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (OCSBC), determines a reputation score for each call, and sends the corresponding action to the OCSBC to enforce.
The Security Shield service provides a Dashboard where you can view data about call traffic and manage how you want the SBC to handle risky calls. Through the tabs on the Dashboard, you can set thresholds for call activity and you can create lists of phone numbers for the Security Shield service to use when determining the reputation scores and actions.
- The Dashboard is the Graphical User Interface that displays visualizations of call activity and other Security Shield operations.
- The Security Shield service applies rules, provides call behavior analytics, sends the enforcement actions to the Session Border Controller.
- The Analytics Cloud Service uses a combination of multiple services designed to perform advanced analytics on a sample data set.
- The Cloud Communication Service (CCS) establishes a secure ground-to-cloud tunnel for on-premises Security Shield components to communicate with Security Shield components in the Oracle Cloud.
You must contact your Oracle sales representative to subscribe to the Security Shield because it is not available for purchase through the Oracle online marketplace.
